Process
It was a Skype interview, but the interviewer was extremely bad at it.
He had zero social skills and was extremely condescending.
He would ask me questions such as, "Why Cisco?" but not accept my answers and simply repeat the question.
He also asked me a couple of times very weirdly worded questions, and he would get annoyed when I'd ask if he could explain a bit more what he meant.
